Meet our Executive Chef!

Our Dining Services Department is thriving! We would like to warmly welcome our new Dining Services Director and Executive Chef, Tom Schumaker. Many of our residents have already had the pleasure of meeting and experiencing the new dishes that our wonderful new Chef has brought to our community. Along with bringing his top notch cooking skills, kindhearted demeanor and playful sense of humor, Chef has already broadened the kitchen’s horizons and expectations for everyday meals and special events.

When not in the kitchen, Tom can be found golfing, enjoying Formula 1 racing and spending time with his wife Cynthia, his kids and grandkids. Welcome to the family, Chef!
